Default Brake fliuds & warranties

I bought a 2012 STD in Oct. and all things are good,except for a little weeping at the brake fluid reservoir on the handle bars.It did it once with the stock cap and I upgraded to a chrome one which seemed to solve the issue.Sunday after a ride and when I was cleaning the bugs off the windshield I noticed it for the first time in quiet awhile. The brakes seem to function great. Not sure if this is normal or should I take the bike to a dealer.I bought the bike in Daytona and live in SC(I know not the brightest thing I have ever done). Would any Harley dealer honor the mfg warranty or should I just take it to a local bike mechanic?

A weeping master cylinder cover is usually a sign that it is on a bit too tight.
